Jupiter and Earth compared. Jupiter's diameter is over ten times greater than the Earth's. It has over 300 times the mass. If you weigh 180 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 426 pounds at Jupiter's cloud tops.Jupiter is five times further from the Sun than the Earth.Jupiter is so large that its famous Great Red Spot (actually a giant, hurricane-like storm that's at least 400 years old) would easily swallow the Earth.upiter is five times further from the Sun than the Earth.
